I'm not exactly sure what a "super tune" is but a tune optimizes the air fuel ratios/ rev limiters and shift points (auto)and the list goes on. If you are stock I would just do a fuse pull and call it a day. Tunes void your warranty, just FYI.

You have an auto so a tune can definitely improve how the car drives and increase the fun. However it does void the power train warranty so most people pair it with other upgrades that require it - headers, cam, s/c, etc. check out the bolt on section for more information

More power is always a good thing. But I don't think I could afford the tickets...
